Time to make another batch of jerky wafers. My supply got hurt real bad over the holidays.
5 lbs coarse ground deer
9 oz Smoking Gun Jerky Marinade
2 tsp Black pepper
2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 tsp Cure #1
All mixed together and after an overnight in the frig...ready to stuff.

Stuffed into 3 inch casings.

After about 4 hrs. in the freezer to firm up, sliced into wafers and to the dehydrators.

It took about 5 1/2 hrs to dry. Another hour for the ones I sliced too thick. I ran the dehydrators at 150* F. A nice little batch of deer jerky wafers. Yield was 49%.

Now to vac seal and hide a few packages. ;) ;) ;)
That's what I'm talking about! I really need to make some of these. Will have to find some Smoking Gun Jerky Marinade.

It's made here in Lincoln. Don't think they market elsewhere. www.smokinggunjerky.com Check out the various flavors he makes. I think Nepas tried the "Ultimate Insanity" that I brought to the MWSO. I'll never forget the look on his face!
Thanks for the link Joe.
I recall the look on Rick's face at the time. Priceless. :o
;D ;D ;D
I've got to make another batch of these Joe, when you use GB do you get 80/20 or 90/10, I can't find any cheap 90/10 so I've been holding off on doing some.

I never use GB, any percentage, for jerky. I don't want any fat in the meat; or as little as possible. When I'm forced to use beef, I buy eye of round and grind it.

Thanks Joe, I'll keep my eye out for some since I don't have a freezer full of venison.
This looks like a great idea. Gonna have to give it a try.

You'll love the ease and probably never break out the jerky gun again. :)
Just curious is it possible/safe to make these in just the smoker if you do not have a dehydrator. I want to try them out but also don't want to make something that is inedible. Thanks

I don't see why you couldn't, you'd have to keep an eye on them and rotate the racks front to rear, bottom to top as long as you have the right amount of cure in your mix.
Saber 4 is correct. It will just take longer.
Okay that is what I was thinking but wanted to get a second opinion before I gave it a shot, thanks guys
Ragweed, I hope you are not offended by this but I want people to know and appreciate the quality of folks who participate here. I've said before and reiterate now that this is unlike any other forum where I have either participated or lurked. This guy, Ragweed, sent me a pack of his deer jerky wafers along with 1/2 chub of his beef summer sausage. He doesn't know me from Adam but heard I'd wrecked a knee, PMed me for my address and yesterday a care package of meaty goodness. That, my friends, is going above and beyond! Thanks Joe, and blessings on you.

Not offended at all. Maybe a little embarrassed. I just hope I don't get a bunch of addresses now from folks with fake knee injuries! lol
Well you may rest assured that I will "pay it forward" when I get back in business. Sounds like it'll be a while though. On the bright side it looks like I won't have to be fighting subzero temps while smoking, at least not until next winter!!!

Now who among us would stoop that low? That's about as bad as framing a poor defenseless pooch for stealing jerky!

What kinda dog you got, Paul?
We've got a beagle, a chocolate lab/min pin mix, and for about another week or so we are watching my son's dog which is half catahoula and half black lab. Too many for a one-legged man that's for sure!

When you mentioned blaming a poor defenseless pooch for stealing jerky, I knew you had a dog. LOL We've got a lab and two beagles and my wife blames the beagle puppy for the disappearing jerky, snack sticks, cheese, etc.
Well there's no doubt that a beagle thinks with his stomach. I love ol' Chester but he definitely has a one track mind.

Tailfeathers, you could not have said it any better if you had tried. THIS is what the forum is all about and designed for. You can't make this stuff up.
Very nicely done Joe.

Joe's method beats the jerky shooter hands down.

Totally agree.
Am heading down to the states in a couple weeks and just ordered some of the smoking gun marinade to my place down there to try out when I return. Can't wait to get out of the cold but really can't wait to try this out when I get back :D.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm glad to hear so many are trying Dad's method and liking it. :) :) :)

I've got probably a dozen or so non-forum members making your Dad's rounds here in Texas now. Everyone absolutely loves them.
